Deathlike Silence (Finnish heavy metal band)
Deathlike Silence is a metal band from Finland, usually referred to as “gravedigger metal.” I, however, prefer to call them “horror metal” as their lyrics tend to be horror-based, much like the lyrics of the old-school horror punk band, the Misfits.
The first thing I noticed about this band …
Animal Collective - No More Runnin’ (Song)
No More Runnin’ is a song by Animal Collective and the penultimate track on their 2009 studio record, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Opening with an incredibly gentle and melodic sound, No More Runnin’ may have one of the more melodic sections on the entire record, second to perhaps only Bluish. …

Lady Gaga, The Fame Monster

Not Your Kind of People, 2012 Album by Garbage

The Painter by OTown
This is not the only song I love with Otown; it is just that this is memorable because someone sang it for me. What I am not sure is, if he deliberately means the words. This song uses metaphor to describe what this song is trying to convey.
